3. Is the origin of the fish in the finished product traceable?

Yes, based on the printed code we can trace the origin of the fish raw material in any finished product from the consumer via the supermarkets back to the vessels at sea.

You find a coding on your Iglo products which can be entered under www.iglo.de to get exact information regarding catching areas.

4. How are fishfingers made?

In the sea

In the beginning there is the fish, for example Alaska Pollack which comes from the North Pacific

Fishing

The net is lowered into the sea as soon as the echo-sounder of the factory trawler has indicated shoals of fish. The catch is heaved on board over the stern ramp, sorted according to size and species and processed immediately.

Filleting

In the processing deck on the vessels there are machines which skin and bone the fish immediately. After that the fillets are deepfrozen in blocks weighing about 7.5kg.
